Came in this morning to a fluid pump issue. Evidentally got a nut that made its way to the pump gear. Our “woke” wooks didn’t tighten shit up. Bout ready to fly off the handle.
Maybe chemistry will happen later tonight or early am tomorrow.
Get some sleep my brothers, fore tomorrow we set sail.

That is definitely enough to throw shit! Hope you get that pump fixed
@HeisenbergInd has another experiment that he wants to run real soon… and the only thing that pops into my head when he does is…

Dude… that fucking sucks!
Hope it didn’t screw shit up too bad.

Does anyone have any plans of trying out pd/c for D9 remediation? I understand the theory behind it, but I am not comfortable designing an experiment just yet. I believe methanol would be an appropriate solvent due to its higher auto ignition temperature. What I am still uncertain about is temperature and time.

This was from -50c etoh nug runs, filtered to half um. Evapped, decarbed, volatile stripped and now being distilled. So ready to make some oil to share.

That’s one tall order of beautiful there

O boy DO NOT use pd/c on alkohols
Pd/c starts working at 120 C so few solvents can be used
As for Thc remediation it s not a great option
Very hard to get rid of the last 0.5% Thc
Sure there are some consultants that can teach you the trick for a few $

I saw a YouTube video from a university that showed the hydrogenation process (I believe it was unsaturated → saturated fats) using pd/c and I believe they were using methanol. I understand that we would be performing a dehydrogenation so I assumed that methanol would be acceptable. Admittedly I still have much to learn about it, which is why I wanted to bring it up in discussion. I have heard rumors of the contrary with it being a viable method of remediation of D9 but alas, can’t confirm.
I would be potentially interested in paying for a SOP, but I don’t wanna get screwed and I’m sure whoever has that capability is gonna want more than I’m worth for it lol

This may be a useful guide to study when handling pd/c and alcohols; as well as the hydrogenation

So I’m down to my last 1/2kg of isolate. I decided to use 1kg of hexane rather than my usual 1:1. With the extra thermal mass, I did not have much of an exothermic spike. I run my rxn at 40c and it usually spikes to 48c. This time it only spiked to 43C. The color still darkened so I know the rxn took place. I’m wondering if by having extra thermal mass and limiting the exothermic spike will have any effect on D8 vs D9 production. Has anyone played with this?

I believe this was explained during the conversations of toluene in either illnyes thread mine or this one
Nvm it was the “let’s set d8 straight” thread.

Sweet I’ll go back and re read it. It’s been a while since I read through that thread.
